DLC for pre-orders?

I know in some games like Burnout Paradise and Midnight Club there are cars available to download, but having those cars doesn't mean you can't play with others who don't have the cars.

I don't see why this game can't just set it up that way.

It would be a pretty boneheaded move to not do something like Burnout. I'm sure that there will be a pretty small group of people playing this multiplayer and segmenting the online user base right out of the gate seems like a bad idea. I think that I'd be more inclined to buy DLC after seeing it in action.
